Members wjking Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 Anyone played the Paiste PST3 or PST5 series. I don't have a shop close that carries them. The website says they use the same alloy as the 2002 line like the Sabian XS uses the same alloy as the high end Sabians. The Paiste's are $75 less for the pack though. Any comments?

Members One_Armed_Man Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 yeah, i still never got feedback on the pst5's. the sabian xs cymbals are really good i think, especially the hats. crisp, and semi-agressive sound, while still musical. good for the price, but i really want to hear about the pst5's since i didnt want to spend over 300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wjking Posted July 9, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 9, 2005 I think I read on the Paiste website that the PST5's replace the 802 series. Any comments on those since no one seems to know about the new ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wjking Posted July 11, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2005 I read on some old posts people describe the 802's as "tinny", but not in a bad way. Not sure what that means. Can anyone compare expereince wit the 802's and the Sabian XS20's? BTW, thanks to whoever recommended Midwest Percussion's site in one of those old threads. I went there and found the PST5 and XS20 packs for significantly less than everywhere else. On some stuff you have to put the item in your cart to see the discount though. Excellent site, great prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members One_Armed_Man Posted July 11, 2005 Members Share Posted July 11, 2005 well i know the 201's replaced the 502's, but i think the pst5's are a different thing. i was thinking of getting the 5's, but im probably not gonna play with a band and i kind of what everything quieter, so i might just get some practice pads and those pulse brass cymbals made by paiste.

Members hav3th1sm3rcy Posted July 5, 2006 Members Share Posted July 5, 2006 i have played the fives and the xs and i like the xs a lot better. the 5s are made for stuff more like jazz and funk so they have a amore delicate feel but i play metal/rock so i like xs. it all depends on your style really. . . .

Members jray Posted July 5, 2006 Members Share Posted July 5, 2006 i own the pst5's and i really like the 20' ride, great ping great stick definition the bell sounds awesome..... the crash sounds great when played loud and decent when played softer.... the hi-hats, im not really a big fan of, they sound decent, but in comparison to the rest of the set, not so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tmetaler Posted July 6, 2006 Members Share Posted July 6, 2006 i got 17" med. crash, 18" and 19" rock crash, all pst5's and i think they all are really nice- not too pricy, and the overall sounds are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
